    Leicester points deduction

    That rings a bell.

    Leicester points deduction

    Not the first time Leicester have played fast and loose with the financial rules if memory serves.

    Shefki Kuqi. Although technically he migrated to Finland as a kid.

    The January 2026 Transfer Window Thread - Now Closed!

    Owning the stadium is fine if, and in football that's a pretty massive IF, ownership can be trusted. Too many examples exist of financial manipulation around sale/buyback of stadiums, or clubs getting shafted when things turn sour. Having the ground owned by an independent third party may not...

    The January 2026 Transfer Window Thread - Now Closed!

    I don't think anyone is likely to replicate what Wrexham have done unless an even bigger star than Ryan Reynolds buys into a club. "Taylor Swift is a Jack" maybe. For good or bad RR and Rob McElheny spotted an opportunity and they have exploited it extremely well. Reynolds is a savvy marketer...

    The January 2026 Transfer Window Thread - Now Closed!

    The fact that we've been sailing close to the wind in terms of FFP is not new information. Most clubs are I'd imagine. A doubling of our last reported figures would be an additional £8m coming in, which would be roughly where we were in the Prem, inflation not taken into account.

    Leo Walta

    You would expect him to have maintained a high level of fitness given the likelihood of him making a move to an active league in January. It will probably take him time to get up to the pace of the Championship, but that would have been the case anyway.

    Leo Walta

    Galbraith may not be here much past that either. Of our CM's at the moment, one is on loan (MY), one is out of contract in the Summer (JF) and one is likely to attract interest from elsewhere (EG). Nice to have a bit of a conveyor belt of talent starting up.

    Cullen

    As much as I don't rate Cullen I can't condemn him for this. We've been on the wrong side of it too many times in the past for it to be so.

    I don't disagree. Eom should probably have four or five by now (although I maintain that he would be a better #10 than a winger). Ronald has underperformed. We need more goals from midfield in general, which hopefully Walta will contribute towards.

    Matt Grimes (not Jamie)

    Was always the perfect response to those going OTT about his contribution.

    Matt Grimes (not Jamie)

    I don't think there's ever been another Swans player who frustrated me more than Grimes did. He's clearly got the skills to be a top quality player. Some may disagree, but I genuinely believe that. However, he's such a negative shithouse on the pitch so often teams almost never see it. He has...

    Just reading the "corners are abysmal" part sent me into a dose of PTSD like I'd done three tours of 'Nam.

    The Championship is a poor league most seasons. This one stands out because the relegated teams aren't clear at the top. The key is consistency. If we put a couple of runs of results together, and we're certainly capable of it, there's no reason why we can't be contenders for a top six spot...

    Is this the right thread for an argument?

    My major concern with him. If an offer comes in that allows us to make a nice profit then a sale wouldn't surprise me.

    Widell - Cullen or Another?

    Widell every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

    Josh Tymon.

    His delivery of a ball during open play is oddly a lot better than it is from set pieces, which is one of those great bits of football that logically should be the other way around.

    Matos appreciation thread

    A big thing for me. Used to go to games out of habit and not really mind if I missed any because we were so dull to watch. Now I'm disappointed to be missing the next two.
